There are two primary ways to access patient immunization history and forecast information in ALERT IIS: through the web-based user interface at www.alertiis.org or through an EHR that has an approved interface with ALERT IIS. Access to ALERT IIS via the user interface requires users to complete basic training. The ALERT IIS Help Desk can be reached by email (alertiis@state.or.us) or by phone (800-980-9431), Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Practices that use an Electronic Health Record

ALERT IIS communicates electronically with many different health record systems, both in scheduled batches and in real time. ALERT IIS can also send patient immunization records and recommendations that can be imported directly into some EHR systems. ALERT IIS will work with interested software vendors to build links between existing clinical records and ALERT IIS.

Reviewing Patient Records

For new ALERT IIS users, reading patient records can be confusing at first. We have created a Quick Reference Sheet to describe how to login to the system and how to interpret a patient immunization record.

Statewide Recall

In December 2013, ALERT IIS is beginning a process to recall all 22-month-old children who are past the recommended date for immunizations. Part of the statewide recall process is giving medical providers an opportunity to review the patients on the recall list in order to update patient demographics and immunizations. We've created a quick reference sheet for providers to guide staff through the review process.
